Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

my CO was a friggin nightmare

He said that the union people obviously know how to do the job better and have more experience, but the attitude and work ethic from EWA'ers was "110% improved" over the union employees.

Anybody can act like a superstar for 45 days under intense pressure. Give them 6 months and see how they compare to the "union attitude."

To the original poster. Then why settle if things were gong so well with less workers?

I just did that. The novelty wears off quick. I plan on relaxing the rest of the summer. Maybe spend some extra cash. Have fun in those 95 degree days hanging on a pole or in hole.

I figure to make 3 weeks pay each week for the next 8-10 weeks.

So I guess no overtime tomorrow, cool!

Gobble it up you fat pigs

I hope you Union people come back to the worst possible scenarios for walking out

That's what my EWA supervisor said as well. He said that the union people obviously know how to do the job better and have more experience, but the attitude and work ethic from EWA'ers was "110% improved" over the union employees.

He seemed to feel like just not having people whine every minute of every day was a huge improvement.

Lowell said thanks to the loyal EWA staff, his knob has never been shinier. Good job folks!

@mrq. You're definitely coming back to a backlog, but it's nothing close to those numbers. At least as of last night. I hope it's not nearly that bad, because if so then something major must have happened during the last 12 hours lol. Good luck though. And honestly, glad to have you all back.

Numbers from friendly mgmnt. advsd we are returning to a horror show.

@etr not sure where you're getting the numbers, but those aren't correct.

100,000 backlogged repair tickets. 80% repeaters on dispatch. You all rock, indeed.

That's why he caved because you guys did a tremendous job I guess phase 3 was to send you all back to your basements

Turn in all the improvements, maybe the will listen to you.
